What Vista 32-bit or 64-bit Ultimate? I am having issues because JAVA JRE
does not support Vista 64-bit applet execution as of yet. Any work around
suggestion from anyone would be helpful! I can't get a help desk for my music
notation software for the website.

If you are using an x64 version, you need to run the 32 bit version of
the web browsers. My Vista came with x64 IE7 as the default browser.
The 32 bit version of IE7 is located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet
Explorer\iexplore.exe". You will need to install all of the plug-ins
just like a "fresh" install. As of right now Java and Adobe Flashplayer
are not x64 compatible, maybe soon.
